Environmental Permitting Lead

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description at top: "At Jacobs, we're challenging today..." That's about the company and role. Could be "About the role" or "About Jacobs". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have: - About the role: we have description of impact and role. Could put under

About the role

with paragraphs. - Responsibilities: there is a "Primary Responsibilities" list. Use

• . - Requirements: there is "Here's what you'll need" list of qualifications. Could be Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe "Ideal, You'll Also Have" could be Qualifications or Preferred Qualifications. Could treat as Qualifications. - Skills: maybe not separate; we could embed in Requirements. - Benefits: there is description of health and welfare benefits, unlimited PPTO, etc. So Benefits section. - Pay: base salary range given. So Pay section. - Schedule: not explicitly mentioned; there is hybrid working policy, travel up to 20%, but not schedule specifics. Might not create Schedule unless explicit. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Schedule not stated; we have hybrid working policy but not schedule. Could omit Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO statement, application instructions, etc. Remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract content. About the role: The first paragraph: "At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good. Your impact We are seeking an Environmental Permitting Lead to support the planning, permitting, and delivery of electric transmission projects. This role will help secure environmental approvals and maintain regulatory compliance across project phases, from early routing and feasibility through construction, restoration, and closeout. The successful candidate will demonstrate sound judgment, strong organizational and communication skills, and the ability to work collaboratively across engineering, environmental, regulatory, real estate, legal, and stakeholder-engagement disciplines." We could split into two paragraphs. Responsibilities: list after "Core functions of the job may include" then bullet list. Then later "Primary Responsibilities" with another list. We need to combine? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should include both sets? They may overlap. Better to combine into one Responsibilities section containing all bullet points from both lists. Ensure we don't duplicate identical lines. Let's extract bullet points. From "Core functions of the job may include": - Lead and oversee comprehensive environmental permitting strategies for complex, large-scale electric transmission projects. - Direct the preparation, technical review, and submission of major permit applications, technical reports, agency correspondence, and supporting documentation. - Oversee environmental impact assessments, routing evaluations, field studies, and technical investigations to mitigate project risks. - Serve as a primary senior liaison with project leaders, engineering teams, regulators, municipalities, and key community stakeholders. - Maintain oversight of regulatory compliance records, agency decisions, permit commitments, and project documentation. - Provide expert interpretation of complex environmental regulations and integrate compliance requirements into project execution plans. - Oversee the procurement, budgeting, and performance of environmental consultants and specialty subcontractors. - Promote safe work practices and ensure health, safety, environmental, and quality standards are embedded across all project activities. Then "Primary Responsibilities": - Establish overall permitting strategy, project schedules, and risk-management approaches for major electric transmission projects. - Lead complex or high-risk environmental permitting matters involving multiple jurisdictions, agencies, or regulatory programs. - Advise executive project leadership on routing, design, schedule, cost, public involvement, and compliance implications. - Direct agency engagement and lead negotiations involving significant regulatory, environmental, or stakeholder issues. - Provide authoritative review of permit applications, environmental analyses, alternative evaluations, and project commitments. - Anticipate regulatory developments and emerging risks, recommending proactive strategic responses. - Resolve complex conflicts among technical disciplines, agencies, consultants, and project stakeholders. - Coach and develop permitting staff, establish consistent practice standards, and promote knowledge sharing. - Support proposal preparation, project strategy, client/agency presentations, and business development initiatives. - Represent the organization in high-visibility meetings, public hearings, agency inspections, and professional forums. We should combine, maybe deduplicate overlapping: some similar but okay. Requirements: "Here's what you'll need": - Bachelor’s degree in environmental science, environmental planning, natural resources, geology, biology, engineering, planning, public policy, or a related field. - 8+ years of progressive experience leading strategic environmental permitting, complex agency coordination, and multidisciplinary project teams on linear infrastructure projects. - Proven ability to independently drive project-level permitting strategy and compile complex environmental filings. - Advanced expertise interpreting complex environmental regulations, permit conditions, technical studies, and regulatory correspondence. - Executive-level written and verbal communication skills with demonstrated experience presenting to regulatory bodies, clients, and public stakeholders. - Strong track record of managing competing priorities, project schedules, risk mitigation, and stakeholder negotiations. - Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications and common project-documentation tools. - Ability and willingness to participate in site visits, field activities, public hearings, and high-level agency meetings. - A valid driver’s license and the ability to travel up to 20% of time, as needed, are required. Qualifications (Ideal, You'll Also Have): - Extensive experience permitting electric transmission lines, substations, renewable-energy facilities, pipelines, transportation projects, or other major linear infrastructure. - Comprehensive experience navigating complex federal, state, county, and municipal permitting processes. - In-depth knowledge of NEPA, State Environmental Quality Review processes, Sections 401/404 of the Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act, the National Historic Preservation Act, and comparable regional requirements. - Demonstrated success directing environmental consultants and reviewing technical deliverables for quality and regulatory alignment. - Experience with permitting databases, GIS applications, environmental constraints mapping, and document-management systems. - Proven leadership in construction compliance management, permit modifications, agency inspections, or post-construction restoration monitoring. - Relevant professional registrations or certifications, such as Professional Wetland Scientist (PWS), Certified Environmental Professional (CEP), AICP, OSHA training, or similar credentials. Benefits: "Our health and welfare benefits are designed to invest in you, and in the things you care about. Your health. Your well-being. Your security. Your future. Employees have access to medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance, a 401(k) plan, and the ability to purchase company stock at a discount. Eligible employees may also enroll in a deferred compensation plan or the Executive Deferral Plan. Jacobs has an unlimited U.S. Personalized Paid Time Off (PPTO) policy for full-time salaried/exempt employees, seven paid holidays, and caregiver leave. And certain roles may be eligible for additional rewards, including merit increases, performance discretionary bonus, and stock." Pay: "The base salary range for this position is $92,000.00 to $161,000.00. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training." We should not include EEO statement, job posted date, etc. Also remove hybrid working policy? It's about schedule/working arrangement but not explicit schedule; could be considered schedule? The instruction: only create Schedule if posting actually states them. It mentions hybrid working policy, allowing split week between offices/projects and remote locations. That's about schedule/location. Might be considered schedule info. But the heading Schedule is optional; we could include if we have concrete info. The posting says: "We empower employees with our hybrid working policy, allowing them to split their work week between Jacobs offices/projects and remote locations enabling them to deliver their best work." That's schedule/location. Could be included under Schedule. However, the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be okay to include Schedule with that info. But we must not create Schedule unless posting actually states them. It does state hybrid working policy. So we can include Schedule section with that description. But we also have travel up to 20% mentioned in Requirements; that's not schedule. Thus we can include Schedule: hybrid working policy. Now we need to output HTML with

  headings and

  or

  • . We must not include any extra text outside HTML. Let's craft:
